How To See The World: Ch.1

“The selfie depicts the drama of our own daily performance with our inner emotions that may or may not be expressed as we wish”

It’s an interesting way to see selfies as a daily performance we put on for the world. It’s like capturing the relationship between how we present ourselves outwardly and what we truly feel inside. 

“Art was whatever someone who wanted to be an artist called art. Whether it was the product of individual skill or talent was beside the point.”

This quote is agreeable because art is so subjective. Whether it’s about skill or talent, that’s not the main focus. I feel it’s more about the intention and expression behind the creation.
